Hahah shit, well, in my defence i DID listen to it that day. I just didn't leave feedback cause I guess I didn't really know what to say. I had it playing while I was working so didn't know if my feedback would've been very helpful.

I did like them though. I agree that it's your best work so far. Keep it up.

Hey, this stuff's really good. Is this just samples though? I mean how much work did you do on these, did you just throw a fade effect on top of a song that already existed?

i didn't actually sample any instruments really for this, just the portishead guitar solo thing on the last track at 1:15, so yeah, i pretty much just produce the beats from scratch then put some acapella vocals over it if i want and get actual singers to do singing for me if i want a verse or 2 in a track.
glad you liked it!

This is cool

First track, great mood. It's kind of a heavy beat, but that contrasts really nicely with the distant etherealness of everything else.

Second track: Sounds very fragile, and shimmering. I'm picturing like a bunch of glass in empty space. You do a great job creating atmosphere. There's so much attention to detail; it's really organic and flowing, but nothing sounds out of place. Very professional sounding to my ears.

Third track: I love that beat, very 80's synthpop sounding. I'm not a big fan of the singing; it's too light for me.

Fourth track: Very atmospheric and original sounding to me, though I admit I don't listen to a whole lot of this kind of music. I dig this track a lot.

Fivf tracks: Same as above. I think this track has the best vocals of the whole album. In fact I think this is just my favorite one. It starts off sounding like the last song (not a bad thing) but then just gets progressively cooler until the end.

Wonderful album, sir.

Thanks for taking the time to give it a full listen and provide feedback, much appreciated man. glad you liked the style and production, your comment about the third track is something i agree on now looking back too to be honest.

alright, Nickson.. I listened to one song on here the other day when I was driving into town and I had to listen to the whole thing

Dude this shit is mind boggling - The amount of talent in here is pretty awesome. First off - Props to getting singers and not using samples.. I was almost 100% certain you just had like.. some chick singer that you like that you sample a lot.
These 5 songs sound professional as hell - and there wasn't a song I didn't like. The songs are entrancing, ambient, and heavy. On the water stood out to me, because It really opens up. Just Breathe was my girlfriend's favorite
Keep up all the great work, maaaaan - kick ass
